The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. An Exploratory Value Chain Analysis for Burmese Pickled Tea (LAPHET) A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of AgriCommerce in Agribusiness Institute of Agriculture and Environment MASSEY UNIVERSITY Palmerston North, NEW ZEALAND SO PYAY THAR 2016 i ABSTRACT Laphet (pickled tea) is a well-known traditional cuisine of Myanmar consisting of tea leaves fermented into a pickle. It has a unique taste different from tea used for drinking and has health benefits. Despite the fact that pickled tea is a popular food in Myanmar, no research has been done to analyse its value chain and evaluate its potential in the global market. This study is an exploratory research and aims to examine the value chain of pickled tea from production to the final consumer and to evaluate how to improve the quality in the value chain. In addition, the improvements to the integrity to the pickled tea value chain are addressed. The value chain analysis revealed the maJor actors in the pickled tea value chain and described the process as tea leaves pass through several intermediaries with value being added at each stage before reaching the end consumer. The chain is governed by wholesalers and manufacturers who have capital advantage over the other chain actors. Therefore, farmers get the lower share of the price margin.

  • Riddles in Kashmiri Folklore: Source of Sharpening Intelligence and Preserving Culture
    Riddles in Kashmiri Folklore: Source of Sharpening intelligence and preserving culture. Mohd Shafi Wani Research Scholor, Cca University Of Kashmir (India) Folklore is diverse in nature, variegated in form and has diverse functions in society. It functions as a means of delight and cohesive force in a society. It provides cultural identity and promotes group feeling among the individual and most importantly sharpening the intelligence and preserving the cultural heritage of the society. Oral folklore in kashmiri language has universally been applauded for its diversity, plenty and antiquity. It has received much attention both by the non-native and native scholars and has been anthologized and even translated into English and some other languages. The folklore has not been studied in the light of various insights from linguistics, anthropology and ethnographies. The anticipated study aims at thorough systematic analysis of oral genre of folklore, (riddles) in terms of its „sharpening intelligence and preserving cultural heritage of kashmiri society.‟ Though kashmiri oral folklore has been studied quite seriously by many European scholars like Father Hinton Knowles, George Grierson and Aurel Stein and the local scholars have anthologized it quite thoroughly but study of this rich legacy in the light of modern approaches is still an unexplored field of study. The proposed study shall remain restricted to the study of kashmiri riddles as a vehicle of „sharpening intelligence and preserving cultural heritage within the limits of kashmiri culture.’ I.FOLKLORE The word folklore was first coined in 1846 A.D by an English antiquarian willim Thoms and begins as a study of antiquities.

Received: 9 June 2020; Accepted: 13 July 2020; Published: 21 July 2020 Abstract: Fermented tea is traditionally consumed in many Asian countries. In Thailand, the product is made by anaerobic submerged fermentation of semi-mature tea leaves before being made into a ball form. This study aims to investigate the composition of health-associated bioactive compounds in fermented tea balls made from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, which is naturally grown in the forests of northern Thailand. The processing involves steaming semi-mature tea leaves followed by anaerobic fermentation in 2% NaCl solution (1:5 w/v of tea leaves solution). Levels of catechin (C), epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), gallocatechin (GC), flavonols (myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol), phenolic acids (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, coumaric acid, and sinapic acid), total phenolic content, and in vitro antioxidant activity were evaluated in fresh tea leaves, steamed tea leaves, and fermented tea leaves over a period of 60 days’ monitoring.

  • Recipes: Going Beyond Savoury Dishes with Garlic | 3 Hours Ago
    Recipes: Going beyond savoury dishes with garlic | 3 hours ago Fermented Tea Garlic Salad has a unique combination of flavours that will have you looking at garlic and tea in a different way, says certified tea sommelier Carol Mark. She plans to serve the salad at the Toronto Garlic Festival on Sept. 18, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Carol Mark, Empower T/Toronto Garlic Festival, *MANDATORY CREDIT* TORONTO — For a burst of flavour and seasoning, nothing beats garlic, a fundamental ingredient in many savoury dishes. But creative cooks are finding other uses for the "stinking rose," which is now in season. People might be surprised to bite into ice cream, chocolate, jams and jellies and detect garlic. Carol Mark, a certified tea sommelier and cookbook author, recently created a sweet treat combining raspberries and white chocolate ganache surrounded by a pool of darker chocolate. The secret ingredient was garlic. "It actually heightened the flavour of the raspberry, which is a really nice complement with the darker chocolate. It made it kind of a different sweetness on the tongue," she says. Mark grew up in Toronto's downtown Chinatown where fresh garlic was common in food. "My mother used to grow watercress in the backyard right in downtown Toronto. We would use whatever was fresh and garlic was one of those ingredients." She's grown her own in containers on her condo's terrace. "I love garlic so much and was tired of getting bad garlic in the supermarket that was old, that was dry, and it doesn't add anything to a dish." Mark, a former nurse, became intrigued by the use of garlic and tea as a healing agent when she was recovering from cancer.

  • Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar
    Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar Lei Shwe Sin Myint1 Abstract Tea leaves, in many forms, are an important part of Myanmar society. Apart from being a favorite food, they possess metaphorical and symbolic value in the spiritual, social and religious parts of Myanmar daily life. There are many types of tea leaves in Myanmar. They are black tea, dried tea and fermented tea. Black tea is mostly used to make tea at tea shops. Dried tea is drunk plain with hot water. Fermented tea is considered a delicacy and is offered as gifts to the Buddha and the Sangha during religious donations and events and is used as offerings to Nat (spirits) as well. Fermented tea salad is widely consumed all around Myanmar. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze how tea is involved in Myanmar society. The objectives of the research are to identify the daily use of tea as a human utility, to analyze the effects in Myanmar society and the perceived benefits of the Myanmar tea leaf in the social, economic and religious aspects of Myanmar society. The methodology will be a qualitative approach based upon direct observations, in-depth interviews, and key-informant interviews. According to the findings of the research, tea is used daily in Myanmar society, in its beliefs, traditions, ceremonies and festivals. Tea is an inanimate substance for humans, but it is used by living organisms faithfully. Because of the long adhered tea-consuming traditions, tea has become associated with improving friendships, trust building and conflict resolution.
